It's not a hip flexor exercise. It's a groin and hamstring exercise. Yes it is great stuff, wonderful sports specific workout for jujitsu.
Cade is an amazing grappler and a really cool dude. It always a pleasure to see him and train with him.
Lol weve been talking about these for a few weeks at 10pchi. Gus Calderone was looking for one and looking them up, he said they were about 100$ on ebay... but they have generic ones for sale around much cheaper
I just went to walmart and got a bouncy ball for $3. Works even better because you can apply more pressure. You can also use it for hamstring crushes.
Yeah they original thighmasters are old and rare. A generic abduction machine will do the same thing... You can squeeze a soft yoga ball or something for cheap...
If you cant find the machine in your gym, just look for five guys huddled together offering some woman a spot

abductor are actually your butt muscles (gluteus medius and minimus) and adductors are your inner thigh muscles (adductor brevus, longus, magnus, gracilus, ect). but i get what u mean.Quote:

Eek, I always get those backwards... I do the same with Guantanamo and Alcatraz... I never know which is which ...Quote:

Here's another exercise you can do, it works the adductors differently cuz the knee is extended (straitened) instead of flexed (curled).
You can use an ankle weight instead of a stick lol.
GENIUS!Quote:

I learned that crap 2 but I found my way easier for myself.Quote:

Also do you remember: Tensor facia lata, glute med and min, all abduct the femor, and help turn it in?

I posted it right. What I mean is that if you have time to fuck around with a thighmaster you have time to do more jiu jitsu. Find somebody and squeeze the fuck out of them. Your girl, dog, kids, or random strangers on the street.Quote:

"There is no better preparation for an act, then the act itself"
strippers have a phenomal squeeze not sure thats the type of workout your going after.
